SEVERAL SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.
Look Out for Impure water-Typhoid

Look Out for Impure Water-Typhoid
Fever-Decomposiug Matter-Food.
All should look out for impure water.
Most country homes are supplied with water
from surface wells and springs; that is, wells
which are filled from the ground in their
vicinity. The water falls upon the ground
Immediately around, and simply trickles
down through the soil and loose earth into
the well. When surroundings are clearly,
these wells usually contain pure water; other
wise they become filthy and dangerous. In
seasons of drought all such wells become low,
and the danger of nnpurity i increased many
fold. The result is too often seen in the great
number of Zymotic diseases in the country
(perhaps better called filth Diseases in every
period of drought The danger cannot be
exaggerated The writer cHce examined tho
water from a well and found seventeen grains
of organic matter to gallon, when the limit
of safety Is twol Typhoid fever is emphatic
ally disease of the country i'll the fall, and
it comes because of danger in the well. There
is no reason why, with the proper care, the
country should not be free from all these dis
eases. Far too often the weary man of affairs
leaves the city for few days, only to go to

Then, again, care must he taken to remove
all masses of decomposiuS matter. Waste

| ings These refuse heaps tester in the sun,
and they usually reveal their presence and
| the danger fast enough through the odor.
But it is not always so. Sometimes there is
| Just moisture enough to trickle down into the
ground and so poison the water. The gases
| which arise from them are facilitating,
| though not often directly deadly But it IL
very easy to remove them completely, for &
| thin layer Of dry earth will absorb all ths
products Of decomposition, and the danger b
gone Dry earth is the proper disinfectant
for country use, and it is always at hand
| when most needed-in seasons of drought
Then there is one more caution which ap-
| plies to city and country alike, II is to avoid
all unhealthy food. There is much fruit In

always on the point of decomposition. Ere.
